The first part definitely sounded like one half of a chat conversations, all random questions to “get to know” someone. Nice Sisyphus reference at the end there.

It’s good that you read it that way, because it’s the exact method of conversation that brought about this ficlet. This whole chain of ficlets is really just a running thing between Platypus/Teacup/whatevershe’llbecallednextweek. In one way or another, all the stories are based on truth.

Haha, it’s great to come back to that, because I’m actually looking for a new name!

And yes, hard to believe that these ficlets are all based on some truth here and there. But that’s where the fun comes in!
